I then did a quick web search looking to find out if the new SPG credit card for Canada had been announced. I found the following link where SPG announces that the new credit card for Canada will be from American Express. You can sign up to be informed of the new SPG Credit Card when the details are announced for Canada. http://www.spgpromos.com/canada_creditcard/ The only benefits they are currently showing for the card are: * 1 Starpoint earned for every CDN$1 in purchases charged to the Card * Earn 10,000 Starpoints® — enough for up to three FREE nights I received a letter from MBNA yesterday announcing their SPG card would be discontinued.

I have done this a few times. 2)Also if you have a spouse I suggest the following. Get one in each of your names. Husband to be a primary and wife to be a primary card holder. In that way you can maximize 40,000 SPG points in year 1 on each of the accounts. ( This does not mean to add the spouse as a secondary card holder) 3) If the SPG account for the husband is short soem points, one can transfer spg points from the spouse at no charge. That is a heck of a feature. 4) If you book a hotel on points and cancel withinn 48 hours ,all of the points are credited back to your spg account. They do not charge for this.. This also a heack of a deal and felexibility) Regards Charlie T. SPG Mastercard is the best.

The restrictions on Aeroplan has been lifted from my last recollection. You can now transfer points to it like you would any other program using your SPG points. If you do a search on RFD and read through the thread there you will most likely find confirmation of this. I think that's where I got my info from. Good news for you FT and others wondering.

Points accumulated via credit card transactions are not transferrable due to VISA/CIBC's relationship with Aeroplan.
